River Metals Recycling held a grand opening today for its newly expanded metal recycling plant at 2045 River Road.

The facility now has an additional four paved acres. The company added six new employees and streamlined the recycling process so customers can get in, weigh their scrap metal, unload and get cash for scrap quickly, according to a news release.

Details of its investment were not disclosed.

River Metals buys common household ferrous and nonferrous scrap metal items such as automobiles, appliances, gutters, aluminum cans and other metal products. It is wholly owned by The David J. Joseph Co., a Cincinnati-based subsidiary of Nucor Corp. (NYSE: NUE), and is headquartered in Crescent Springs, Ky., just south of Cincinnati.

River Metals has 10 processing facilities, including the one in Louisville.
